may be doing a strongman comp got some ?s

[pete89]

i was asked if i wanted to do a strongman competition that a school near me is holding this sat. so obviously with no real prep for this im not sure if its even worth it.
ive never done most of the movements as im not a strongman or powerlifter so i wanted to see what you guys think of my lifts and how i will do in these events.

ill be under 180 and the weights and events are these from what i hear
deadlift for reps 315
log press 145 for reps
farmers walk 425? somewhere in the low 400s
atlas stones i think the lightest one is 180...

now for me.
deadlift has always been a weak point for me because i never realy do them. last time i did them i pulled 315 and it was close to a max but not my max, i know thats ****ty lol. squatted yesterday got 285x7 atg.

log press- ive used a log and cant remember what i worked up to but las time i did strict overhead press i did 135 for 7 no leg drive and im stronger with the log so that shouldent be a problem.

farmers walk. here might be some trouble. like i said my deadlift is in the low 3s but my grip is really good. i know if i can get it off the floor thats the biggest problem. picking up a farmers walk around 400 what does that compare to weight wise like deadlifting a barbel?

and atlas stones hmm obviously no clue what i can do on those.

so like i said its only in a few days so im not expecting to be competitive but as long as im not gunna get blown away i may do it.

let me know what you guys think

First off you are not doing a 400 lb. farmer's walk!!! Farmer's weight is to be listed as per side. So, in other words, you will be doing a 200 lb farmer's walk.

Now, for the questions...
Your deadlift may be a struggle but that won't hurt you too much on the farmer's walk. Picking the farmer's walk handles up is more like a squat and yours seems to be pretty good.
I think you should do it. You'll have fun and probably find someone to train with who will push you.
